I did:
https://aspodata.se/choir/osthammar/motett/mozart/requiem.pdf
https://aspodata.se/choir/osthammar/motett/mozart/cover.pdf
code in:
https://aspodata.se/git/musik/WAMozart/requiem/
with lilypond and latex but without lilypond-book.
I use emacs, and handle lilypond and latex files separately with
no need for lilypond-book handling in the editor.
The reason I did it without lilypond-book was that I couldn't
create a Makefile rule for lilypond-book, at least 10 years ago,
it might have changed since then.
Doing it "my" way means you have to match pagewidth/linewidth
between the latex and lilypond sides yourself.
If you simply set a slightly shorter line-width on the lilypond side
and a slightly larger \textwidth on the latex side you're good, e.g.
line-width = 153 \mm
\setlength{\textwidth}{165mm}
worked well for me for a choirbook-sized format (190x270mm).
By using \include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly", and running
lilypond --eps -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts file.ly
I get each line of music as an eps file, which I can simply
include with \includegraphics, or rather use
\input{file-systems.tex} to include them all.
And yes, my workflow is PostScript centric since I have had
less problems printing that way.
Feel free to ask more.
